Those flour shells look crispy. Are they fried? I thought not but they look scrumptious.

I love mexican food. I ate tacos all the time when I was pregnant for some reason. I just craved them. Not the typical pregnant food. *shrug*

No I am not pregnant lj. This was years ago but the memory of my penchant for tacos does not diminish. mmm tacos

I just bought sirloin steaks to cook up with sauted mushrooms,onions and a baked potato on the side.

Have you ever noticed that NSW upside down spells MSN? I didn't until Mav saw the cupcakes and asked me why I wrote MSN on some of the cupcakes. It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about until I noticed he was reading them from the wrong side of the bench.

Aww! Thank you.

Did you hear the one about the new bride searching in the grocery store for a box of "Scratch", the baking mix? :D

I started out from zero. My mom could.not.cook. So I am self-taught, with some help from different folks at different times in my life. Now that I'm pushing 50, I finally feel as if I know what I'm doing.

But I think Aliantha is ahead of both of us !!

I don't think I'm ahead of anyone really. I like cooking and I think it's something useful to be able to do. I think anyone can do if they really want to. It's all really just a process. ;) I think you cook some great stuff All. Keep posting stuff. I'm going to start asking for recipes soon. lol

haha good joke Alluvail. I would be fun to ask a grocery clerk for a scratch mix sometime but I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.

yes and ali is marvelous cook. I've been ignoring the cupcakes on purpose. mmm That frosting is to die for.

That frosting is so easy to make. Just cream some butter (about half a stick) then add in a couple of cups of icing sugar and a tiny bit of hot water (or milk) and away you go. Much better than in the shops. :)

The real question is why aren't your cupcakes safe for work?

Too distracting? lol I don't know. (NSW = New South Wales, a state here)

Ah, that's the secret ingredient at work.

You have no idea how hard it was for Ali to gather all those cane toads, and squeeze out the toxin from their glands, and measure out just the right amount ...

If affected, do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or attend an important meeting.

not to mention the cockroaches!

Should we explain that to the furriners, do you think?

you can if you like. It's probably not very interesting to anyone not Australian though I reckon.

I agree Ali, cooking new things is fun and anyone can learn. :)

Today I made some chicken tenders for my son. He likes curry so I marinated them in some curry paste before cooking.
